Had Corollas since 2016. The 2020 Corolla sedan is the best so far and reliable as the others. Apart from a service once a year we have had no problems with this vehicle. Love the safety feachers especially BSM and Lane assist features. the cruise control that takes into account traffic speed ahead makes londistance driving on highways effortless. Love the car Low clearance at the front is a compromise for the sporty look!!! Grandkids love the moon roof.

Paint peeling off and denied to repair, even admitting that its there fault.
I bought the Toyota corolla from Toyota dealer in Cairns. It's 2010 model. Paint is peeling off on whole roof, passenger side back door, in front bonnet and back boot. After current affairs exposed them few days ago. Toyota admitted that they have problem with primer from2007 to 2014 with Toyota Corolla models.
I checked with local Toyota dealers couple of days after and they assessed the car and denied any repair with shifty excuse, they said," you did not wash your car regularly or could be a tree near the parking spot even my car is parked ...

This is actually a brief report on three Corolla types I hired early April 2022. The first was a hybrid which seemed very economical ( although it was not topped up). It was standard Corolla and so quiet, however did it feel like turning the clock back when the ICE engine started up. This happens very often as the E doesn't run for long and it works early only, it seems. I noticed charging though, on downhills etc. The Corolla with boot and ICE engine didn't impress in any way although it might go forever.....like all of them.
Lastly, I was imp...

Fairly basic car that is doesn't have many features
Bought this car new about 3 months ago. It is fairly fuel efficient, but lacks many features that were standard on many cars 10 years ago.
The mirrors don't fold in automatically.
The rear vision mirror doesn't automatically dim.
Only one USB port in the front.
No aircon vent in the back.
It is also fairly noisy inside once you go over about 60kms/h.
The boot space is fairly small.
On my car the rubber around the window on the rear passenger side hasn't been fitted properly so it leaks air and is noisy if you're sitting in the back (Toyota are looking into this).
Because of COVID I couldn't do a test drive.
Have to say I expected a bit more for my money.

It suits me & I’ve been happy with all aspects.
Shopping once a week, volunteering a couple days a week & the occasional visit in same town or the odd time during the year out of town. The car is usually checked by the mechanic every six months.

Great car, smooth quiet driving with all the bells and whistles
Have had this car almost three years and love it. I average 4.8 litres per 100 klms as I have the air conditioning on all the time. Car is smooth with good power . Interior is modern with all the safety features like blind spot monitoring and lane warning. Really like the wireless charging pad. Rear space is limited but I never have passengers in the back .

Best hatch and great value. Good size and good equipment included.
This is my daily drive. So easy to drive. Big enough for 4 adults. The back row for 3 adults will be a bit small for long drive. Booth is very good size. Yes, some other hatch may have bigger booth size. But if you are looking for very big booth, look for a bigger car. When put down back row seat. The booth is so big and can carry a lot of items.
Service my car every 6 months. I think it’s good for most car to do this just to keep the the engine in good condition.
CVT need to get use to. The first few months is feel different to traditional ...

This is the best car for me. I just love it
With the line sensor and the clearance between me and other vehicles, it works perfectly for me. It can direct itself and steer between the lines. It is just like an aeroplane. The best vehicle I have ever purchased

My Wife received this car as a gift to use as a town car.
It is pretty much the base model pov pack, with the CV transmission and steel rims.
Regardless, this car performs really well for a naturally aspirated 1.8 litre engine.
Stability and control are great, the interior appointments are adequate, the multimedia screen has Bluetooth and usb connectivity.
This vehicle has been 100% reliable over 125000 km.
As a 6'2" individual, I find the legroom and headroom more than adequate in the front and tolerable in the back.
Cons: better tyres/rims wo...

I had searched for my dream comfort car for 2 years, I tried every hatch/sedan from every dealer within my budget of 21k, nothing was ever good, let’s see what was wrong.
1. I have pudendal neuralgia, every part from below my waist has a problem of it’s very own, it’s also a very rare condition and I hate that I had the misfortune of being born with it, but life. Anyways seats! most were super uncomfortable, some flared me up within 5 minutes of sitting down, it was disastrous.
2. Inner cabin claustrophobia! was the next issue, could barely ...
Read moresee out the windows, it was very dark inside and in one my head was touching the ceiling like argh! 3. Power, okay not a biggie, but weak cars just feel nasty haha, so it needed some power. 4. Feels like your driving around in a box and a very light one, like you could tip over at any moment. Cheap plastic look and feel included.Purchased at Toyota Dealers for $20,000.

Purchased roughly a month ago, brand new. Base model 2020 Toyota Corolla Ascent Sport with the CVT Auto with NAV/GPS option.
Used every weekday, 400km total a week (Use a separate car on the weekends), average of 6.1L per 100km fuel economy with a lot of highway driving.
Previous car was a Hyundai i30 Active (2013) Manual and it got 6.0L per 100km traveling the exact same distance and route. So for an Auto to practically equal a manual is fantastic, AND the Toyota has more power! (110kW vs 125kW).
My first car with a CVT, it's a bit differe...
Read morent than the conventional Auto Transmission. This one has a launch gear (physical 1st gear, then CVT band after that). Launch gear disengages at around 25km/h which is noticeable when you're babying the car, but if you drive it normally (1/2 to 3/4 on accelerator pedal) you can't feel it anymore than a conventional 1st to 2nd shift, maybe even less. When you're decelerating coming to a red light you can notice it more because the car/transmission is actively using a sort of engine braking (think there's a few comments about it online about it jerking when slowing down), i believe you can disable it through a Tech2 scanner, but it's just something you get used to. Bluetooth connects instantly, unlike my Hyundai's which would occasionally fail and always take 10-15(minor, i know) seconds to connect.Purchased in .

Got a brand new 2020 Toyota Corolla Automatic Hatch ZR from Melton Toyota. Paid a fortune for it ($38,000). This car is an absolute lemon. There is a genuine defect in the automatic transmission. The car loses power frequently when taking off and when driving at constant speed. I reported the matter to Melton Toyota and after many attempts, they finally reluctantly took the car back for an inspection. They kept the car for one day, and returned it the next day, telling me they found nothing wrong with the car. I took the car back and noticed th...
Read moree problem got worse. The car is very shaky when taking off and as soon as I reach around 30 km/h, the transmission loses power and the car slows down by itself. I again reported the matter to Melton Toyota and again I had to insist to get another inspection done at the Melton Toyota workshop. Again Melton Toyota told me they found nothing wrong with the car. I have made contact with the Consumer Affairs Victoria but they told me they can't do much and that I have to take the matter to VCAT. I am now in talk with a lawyer to build a case against Toyota. It is unfortunate that the consumer laws in this country do not give customers enough rights. I request other Toyota Corolla owners with similar issues to get in touch, perhaps we can launch a class action against Toyota. In the meantime, I request everyone to stay away from the new Toyota Corolla.Purchased in at Melton Toyota for $38,000.

Questions & Answers
My Toyota experience has been a bad one. Bought late 2011 came with scratch marks on the outer, a cut tyre that had to be replaced elsewhere at my cost a faded door with paint stains on the side door inside and on back seats.
The car when bought was making loud noises inside and that went on for 3 years even though I had them check it and their reports nothing wrong with it.
Past warranty at 3 years and then they say the barrings had gone and the reason why the car was making a loud noise.
Now my car gets stuck in auto second when going from a stop to start position and it will stay that way for a good 500m. Now that has to get fixed.
I would never buy another toyota again.
So what is the cost of a new transmission for an automatic please ?
